The lake is roughly oval shaped being approximately {{convert|2|mi|km}} in length north to south and {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} east to west, and a maximum depth of {{convert|153|ft|m}}. The lake has several small streams that drain the area wetlands and is considered the headwater for the Grindstone River. The lake's name is a translation from the Ojibwe zhiigwanaabikokaa-zaaga'igan (Lake abundant with grind stones). Sandstone taken from near the lake was used to make sharpening stones.[2] The lake, North Fork Grindstone River and the lower course of the Grindstone River are depicted on the 1757 Mitchell Map. Grindstone Lake is a popular resort area drawing cabin owners and visitors from the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. It also features a sea plane base, a religious summer camp, and a nature education center. See also
